Who did the port work? I’m in Wingo KY. Nobody locally will do it.

I just picked up a sweet heart of a deal on one with 85,000 mile I’m not rebuilding it ran when pulled 352fe 20 years ago I’m re gasketing it and a new timing chain and gear and lubing the cylinder walls . For my 1966 f250 that my uncle used to own. The engine still has it’s chalk marks from the factory on it

Need dual point distributor, and a 2inch thick harmonic balancer.

Did i miss it, did you dyno JJJ with ported gt40p heads?

Nice!

Sounds legendary Brent.

What size are those valve stems?

My 2011 Chevy Silverado 2500H. D. He had to pull the grill to valance off the top of the grill and pull the headlight up to get to the bulbs. And on my 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD, you have to pull the inner Fender out and then pull a rubber plug to get to the light bulbs. Fun

From a dealer in the 90s they are working towards people not being able to work on their own cars. Well we've finally seem to be there.

Brent, great information, thanks for sharing

That’s nuts. I had a Roller in a 289 (later black with 289 internals) that hit 7600 regularly. No issues…

Morel told me the max oil viscosity I could run was 15-40 with their “street” lifters on the Bullet cam that has about .565” lift on a 335 series. Do you see future issues? It isn’t noisy and it’s a iron block and heads

How much “growth” on a Iron Cleveland block and iron 4v heads?

+ Duration = more time the gate is open. Bigger gate + same time its open = more cowbell. Mooo!!!!! Nice video Brent.

Thank you for the honesty it goes a long way with me, I’m having Daniel Powell grind a cam for me also someone who I can trust.

Great Video! I too hate those RPM ranges and descriptions cam company use.

Damn it! That customer needs a lesson of trust and respect. For almost 25 years, I've had to have the talk with EVERY client about "cheating on me". " "Trust me to deliver what you asked for. If I don't I'll make it right at my expense, and if at that time your eyes and ears start to wander, I'll understand." I've had 1 and only 1 cheat on me, and I didn't take him back when he second guessed me for another shop. It wasn't out of spite.....principal. A lot of time, money, and heart go into some builds.....ah, sorry for the rant

Hi Brent, great video. That guy who sent the cam back … tells me that he’s easily influenced by too many peanut gallery sayers.. not worth loosing sleep over. Nor dealing with .Well done to take it back and move it on. I agree with you about cam selection, I have built a few small block fords & had my last 347 Clevor built by an awesome engine builder here in Australia. I always get custom cams ground for my application.. they never disappoint and are always are on the money!, Keep the great content coming.. looking forward to the 4.6 dyno run!

You went above and beyond by taking the cam back from the customer! Thanks for the video and the info.

In my very limited experience building 302 s, the off- the- shelf cams from Comp and Crane both performed in the rpm range that the manufactures claimed but I think that was mostly because my mild to moderate 302s built with traditional parts were what they knew most people would be using the cams in and then like you said, for conveniences sake, listed other engine sizes that the cam would physically work in even though just the cubic-inch differences would alter the power delivery. In my career as a Harley tech I have seen ample evidence of just the things you talk about shifting the power-bands of cams around, sometimes just a different set of pipes would add another 500 rpm worth of power on the top-end or running a bigger cam in a stock compression motor could take that amount away at the lower end.

Headlight globe replacement, wait till your Wife takes the car to someone else and you have to fix everything they broke on Christmas eve and Christmas day.

Great video as always 👍 I've always known to take the " powerband rpm range" as a guess. I have been trying to decide on a cam stroker build and been doing research. I've been looking at what similar "dyno'd" builds were using. Problem is that info/ example builds are few and far between ( stroker magnum SB Mopar). The cam companies don't even bother replying.. it just sad. A question for you, if you don't mind. How much Overlap (hyd.roller) would you consider "a safe Max" to run Power brakes on a daily driver? 390ci, RPM airgap, TFS 190cc , 10.5cr.

Makes since to me , as to the cam been correct or not.

Dan Powell is the best

Being able to fix a non-operational headlight in a service station carpark, in the dark, with no tools ,should be a design rule. Critical safety system.

I had Brent custom grind FE 390 cam to his specs. Best bang for the buck you will get other than maybe a 6-71.

Great video Brent. Makes total sense about the cam catalogs, but what if your engine is standard bore and stroke with unported heads, Would you still suggest a custom grind?

Super easy to get the headlight out on my 2004 Dodge Ram 4 by 4,, truck takes a licking and keeps on ticking because there is no MDS to ruin the camshaft...

Have you used the comp QXX family of lobes on the fe engines? Any thoughts?

I'm still trying to digest why a professional Ford engine builder has a Dodge pickup.. Do we need to start A Go Fund Me account?? 😂🤣😂

Thanks Brent!

Thanks

Brent i think you went above and beyond taking it back. Bet it sells fast, If i had a BBF id probably be on it.

There is a reason that they call them "the Peanut Gallery". I'll bet money that all of them combined have less than 10% of your experience. I hope you "fired" him as a customer

I like how you are prototyping the Distributor set up , I listened to you and Andy .

Hopefully I won’t get too beat up on this, but have you ever tried Rhoads Lifters?

🤣 ford fusion are just as ridiculous. You have to pull both fender liners, remove entire bumper cover, then you can unbolt the headlights to change the bulbs. They have no access through the core support. There's room.... just no cut outs.

A long story. I have a 452 cu. in FE with Edelbrock heads. They have 2.26/1.75 valves with 3/8 valve stems. When I first built the motor many years ago, CompCams had just introduced their HR cams for FE and HR lifters. The peanut gallery was saying the lifters collapse or the valve float at mild rpm. I called CompCams and asked them what there testing showed, and they said: "We don't test every setup." I was distressed by this and the swapped me out a Street Roller solid cam and lifters. I changed the valve springs and the engine made over 550 hp. That cam has been in the car over 10 yrs. That cam was 245/254. 0.64/0.65. on a 110 LCA. I recently rebuilt the motor and examined the roller lifters. Fortunately, they were fine. The cam you have would be considered mild for a BBF. A lot has changed since then. Your customer should have taken you advice. That's what he pays you for. Sorry about your Ram. I have to kid you about having a Ram. A Ford guy should know better. 🙂

Very good information about cam manufacturer catalogs. In the 1970's and 1980's I ran a speed shop and probably explained that same information at least 5 times a week to guys wanting to buy a cam. Also, many of those customers wanted to pick the nastiest cam at the bottom of the page. They didn't understand that their low compression, small cubic inch engine with stock heads pulling a 4000-pound car with 2:56 gears and a stock converter wasn't going to be able to get out of its own way. Plus, they wouldn't make enough vacuum to run power brakes. Often, they were more concerned about how it sounded! Also, cam technology and valve spring quality weren't what they are now. I worked on an NHRA super stock Camaro That set national records and was the national champion in 1980. We replaced valve springs every 20 passes and checked tension about every 5 passes. We didn't know anything about lobe intensity, and spintrons didn't exist.

No offense Brent but you should have known better to buy a Dodge

Awesome!

Whats size Clyinder head did you use Thanks

Sweet ford. Mines broke.😱

Are the C6AE- R heads the same as the C6TE-G heads? Thats what i have on my engine & i see they are basically the same as the C4AE-G heads with the exception of the exhoust port being different. And by my unknowing eye it looks like the C4AE-G exhoust port would be better?

Hi Brent.. I saw your chat with Andy at unity motor sport. love Ford engines and being in Australia where most Clevelands were made felt the need to sub...

It was 302 on the tq

Would you run the oil line from the front to the rear on a mildly modified engine 351 c

What hp tq did this make and at what rpm

What is a build price on something like this?

The laugh 😂
